Zelensky says 36 countries took part in Coalition of the Willing meeting today

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that every partner country participating in the Coalition of the Willing is extremely important for Ukraine.

He said this at a press conference following the Ukraine-Nordic-Baltic Summit in Kyiv on Tuesday, Ukrinform reports.

"Every voice matters. It is very important for us to maintain unity among everyone in Europe. That is why this circle of friendship is broader and larger. During today's meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, it included 36 countries – nine more than the number of member states in the European Union," Zelensky said.

According to him, it is important that partners include Iceland and Norway, as well as strong Nordic and Baltic nations, along with Canada and Japan.

"All of these countries are extremely important, especially when they do not block joint decisions," Zelensky said.

Zelensky earlier called on partners in the Coalition of the Willing to increase energy support for Ukraine.
